To: Cincinatus' Wife
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood."

What a great quote! Thanks.

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out where the strong man
stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to
the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no
effort without error and shortcoming; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best
knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least
fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
